What owners wrote
2001 ford expedition blows spark plugs, pieces break off fall into cylinder and damage engine. Fuel gases from open chamber have potential for fire.
Electrical: windshield leaking for a few years. First a small leak and did not think much about it. Now it seems to be greater leaks into the car when it rains- leading to electrical issues such as dash lights go out, blower stays on, fuel gauge does not read right. Radio sometimes will not work right and the lights go out. Fuel tank: issues from day one - floats did not work right, now gauge does not read right, one point I could not fill the car - mechanic did something to try and correct it.
